House of Illustration, located in the UK, is the only gallery of its kind that focuses solely on illustration. House of Illustration initially began as a group of illustrators in 2004 that would tour with various exhibitions. Throughout the years, the group gained traction and in 2014 they moved into a permanent physical location where the public can view collected works that celebrate illustration.

They recently announced winners for the 2016 D&AD Awards. Below are only a few of the many amazing winners and it’s hard to pick just a few to showcase here. Also noteable are the “New Blood” winners, which include the new generation of creative thinkers and designers. Take a look at the list of those winners.

Leo Burnett Chicago won for Advertising for Direct. Their winning project was their promotion of the Art Institute of Chicago’s Van Gogh exhibit in which they created Van Gogh’s painting called “The Bedroom” in 3D. I mentioned it in one of our blogs here.

The Partners a Graphic Design winner for the Calendar category created a calendar symbolises the hope for a brighter future for inmates while needlework and fostering a sense of self esteem during a dark and difficult time.

Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima of the MinaLima Studio had the amazing job of designing the graphic props for all the Harry Potter films. Their work will now be on exhibit in Soho, London so that you can see their fabulous designs in person (wish I lived closer!). The four storey building features work from the Harry Potter films on the second and third floors including actual movie props lent to them by Warner Brother Studios. The first floor shows their other graphic design work and the ground floor is home to their shop where you can buy prints, gifts and stationery. You can see some of their graphic props here.
